Angott Search Group has started 2011 on a high note. As the economy continues to improve, we have seen an increase in recruiting activity in all our lines of business.  This increase is the most dramatic in our Automotive/Engineering Practice, but certainly noticeable in our other practices as well (Banking/Financial Services, Energy, Information Technology, Life Sciences, and Sales & Marketing).  The fact that hiring is up in the automotive sector bodes well for all us in Michigan and the Midwest since this industry has a major impact on our economy.
